Abstract: Objective: To provide evidence from a clinical viewpoint that the bacteria persisting within the root canal system do not have a significant impact on the treatment outcome as long as an adequate apical sealing is performed. Methods: A total of 42 patients with pulp necrosis and a periapical index (PAI) score of 5. Root canal treatment was performed in which the root canal filling was limited to the apical third of the root. In the control group, the root canal filling was performed up to the canal orifice.
